Boundaries

What do you do if you have boundaries and your partner has none at all?

I have lots of boundaries/rules with our baby- and with myself postpartum but my husband disagrees with all of them. I’ve tried to be reasonable and meet him half way but he refuses to. And so I feel helpless. For example, if I say no to anybody kissing our baby- but my husband says yes people feel free to do so. And I can’t stop this. We live with his parents so it’s been a nightmare. I can set a boundary with them but then he will say he doesn’t mind so they follow what he wants.

He’ll say as it’s his daughter too he doesn’t need to follow any rules. He can let who he wants hold her, kiss her, leave her with unsupervised etc even if it makes me uncomfortable. I don’t know what to do. I’ve started working part time again so boundaries are more important than ever as I’m not with her 24/7 anymore.

My FIL is particularly disrespectful of my wishes. He changes my baby’s meals even because he doesn’t believe she is getting the right nutrients! ( I have her in a specific plan because of her chronic constipation). And is always invading my privacy. I’m not comfortable with him at all. He touches my daughter with his dirty hands all the time and if I tell him not too, he says his son says it’s fine. Or if I don’t want them holding her, they’ll say their son has given them permission so they will etc it has been a thousand things. I’m wfh but supposed to be returning part time in office but know I don’t have the trust to do so.

Do I have no say? I feel so trapped. My husband has stated repeatedly he doesn’t care about my feelings on it and his parents should be able to do whatever they want with their grandchild. Honestly, I want to leave him but cannot imagine co parenting with him (and his parents) it would be torturous.

Do you shame women who choose to cover when they breastfeed?

I see a lot of comments on social media that make covering your boob when you nurse seem like it's anti woman. Like we are being set back. I don't want my boobs out. That's all. I support you if you get yours out. Heck I'll help your baby latch if you're having a hard time.

Breast feeding 🤱

Breast feeding mommies where you at I need some advice.

Really struggling

My baby is 3 weeks old and I have not had at least 1 hours uninterrupted sleep in the night, he sleeps in the day but at the most inconvenient times like when I have to pick up my daughter from school, so even then I can’t get a good sleep. I don’t know what it is, he drinks well and has gained weight so I know it’s not the feeding, he is always clean… I’m genuinely struggling and do not know how to get him to sleep more than 1 hour at night. I’m being interrupted every 40 mins and he just wants to be on the breast, not even drinking just staying there 😅 … my first was sooo easy, she was sleeping a good stretch at 1 months old and I never struggled with her, this is so new to me, any advice is welcome

Rolling over

My son just hit 3 months on Tuesday & he is rolling over from tummy to his back my question is that I swaddle him at night should I stop & put him in a sleep sack with his arms out?

Sleep regression

Anyone else still in this 4 month sleep regression despite baby being 5 months now? Little one is still waking every hour after midnight and wants to start his day at 5am. It’s been going on for 6 weeks now and I’m exhausted 😭 is sleep training the only solution to come out of this?
